Host Gerry says:
Strangers in a strange land:  Episode One

Host Gerry says:
Previously on the USS Vesuvius:

Host Gerry says:
The Fallen among the crew have all been honored and laid to rest.

Host Gerry says:
After nearly six weeks at high warp, things are returning to what passes for normal on the Vesuvius.  The Vesuvius is approaching the Nalaman System, and is preparing for a possible First Contact mission...

Host Gerry says:

Host CO Royce says:
:: On the bridge watching the view screen ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: At OPS, monitoring fuel consumption, calculating the warp to fuel ratios. ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Steps from his quarters into the corridor ::

ASO Lane says:
:: Working diligently at science two listening to long range communications from the Nalaman System ::

XO Kelson says:
:: In the XO's chair ::

FCO Horn says:
:: At helm control, flying the ship towards its destination ::

CNS Shirley says:
:: In office reading over some paperwork ::

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  What's our ETA to the Nalaman System?

CIV Galen says:
:: Is finishing getting ready to head to the bridge for possible first contact procedures ::

CMO Delar says:
:: After a long delay, he departs from his quarters in a slow march. His head aches from lack of sleep and his eyelids hang heavily over the front of his face. A dim haze covers his vision as he slowly wanders into a turbolift and declares "Deck 12" to the internal computer system. ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Enters turbolift ::   Computer: Deck 7.

CIV Galen says:
:: Walks out of his quarters and heads towards the nearest turbolift ::

FCO Horn says:
CO: 19 minutes and 35 seconds to reach planet and another 9 minutes 56 seconds to establish orbit Ma'am

XO Kelson says:
ASO: Anything from the Nalaman system, Ms. Lane?

CIV Galen says:
:: Gets in the Turbolift ::   Computer: Bridge

CSO Trelan says:
:: As the turbolift comes to a halt, exits and approaches the first set of doors on the left ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods to FCO ::

CIV Galen says:
:: Hears the turbolift take off to its destination ::

CSO Trelan says:
<Fabian> Trelan: Enter!

OPS Chaser says:
:: Up loads fuel/warp ratios and sends them to the CO for her information. ::

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  Sam, you want to review with the team regarding the Nalaman peoples?

CNS Shirley says:
:: Heads out of my office in uniform, and goes to the turbolift ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Continues to make minor course adjustments to keep the ship on course ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Steps into the room and lets the doors slide shut ::   Fabian: Comfortable?

CNS Shirley says:
:: Enters turbolift and says bridge ::

ASO Lane says:
:: Looks up for a moment ::   XO: Still trying to get a clear signal, but there seems to be some faint radio telemetry coming from the system sir.

CIV Galen says:
:: Arrives at the bridge, walks on to the bridge, stands at the back of the bridge ::

CSO Trelan says:
<Fabian>:: Laughs ::   Trelan: Yea. Why?

CMO Delar says:
:: He stands in the lift, a dark cloud almost seems to brew around him in his foul mood. Within moments he arrives on Deck 12 and slowly continue his death march directly into sickbay, and his office. Without a second thought, he releases a loud sigh and collapses down into his chair and begins work in his office. ::

XO Kelson says:
CO: Just in case we need to send an away team, Ma'am?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods to XO ::

CNS Shirley says:
:: Walks on to bridge ::

CSO Trelan says:
Fabian:   Because you only have two days before you leave, and I have to go on duty.   :: Grinning ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Rubs her temples slowly and refocuses on her console. ::

CSO Trelan says:
<Fabian> Trelan: Well, then, I guess you better get to the bridge, Mr. Second Officer!   :: Grins ::   It's OK, Tre. I'll see you before I leave.

FCO Horn says:
:: Begins to rub her belly absently minded ::

XO Kelson says:
ASO: Try to get a clear signal, Hope.  It would be nice if we could listen in on their transmissions.

CSO Trelan says:
Fabian: Good. I'll see you soon.   :: Steps back into the corridor and enters the turbolift ::   Computer: Bridge.

ASO Lane says:
XO: Trying to Commander. I'll try boosting the gain.

CMO Delar says:
:: Taking a PADD from Crewman Farmer, he begins to research a little bit of Xenobiology, and low scans taken of the planet they are approaching ::

XO Kelson says:
XO: I'll see what we can come up with, Captain.   :: Stands ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: As the lift speeds off to the bridge, pulls himself up to his full height, sighing deeply ::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The transmission clears slightly...distinct voices can be heard in a strange language...

OPS Chaser says:
:: Re-triangulates the forward sensor array for the SO. ::

CSO Trelan says:
Self: Going to be strange standing there without Dathan next to me.

CNS Shirley says:
:: Finds a corner and stands and stays out of the way until I am needed ::

ASO Lane says:
:: Looks at her readings and attempts to boost the signal ::

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  Counselor Shirley and Mr. Galen have been requested to do research.  They may be of some help to you.

ASO Lane says:
XO: Sir, I have something.

ASO Lane says:
:: Strains to hear the voices ::

XO Kelson says:
CNS/CIV: Counselor Shirley...Mr. Galen.  Accompany me to the observation lounge.

CSO Trelan says:
:: As the lift halts, steps onto the bridge and walks smartly to Science I ::

CIV Galen says:
:: Walks down to the command level ::   CO/XO: Here is my research. The customs of the people we may need to make first contact with.   :: Hands the PADD over to the XO ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Nods to ASO ::

CIV Galen says:
XO: Aye sir.   :: Walks behind the XO into the Observation Lounge ::

XO Kelson says:
CO: Captain...I think Ms. Lane has something...

ASO Lane says:
:: Sees Trelan and smiles ::   CSO: Welcome back Commander.

XO Kelson says:
:: Takes PADD from Galen ::

Host CO Royce says:
ASO:  What have you got?

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The voices on the radio traffic sound like gibberish at the moment...

CSO Trelan says:
:: Grins ::   ASO: Thank you, Lieutenant.

CNS Shirley says:
:: Follows them to the Observation Lounge ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Gets up and moves walks up the ramp to the science station ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Walks into observation lounge and sits down ::

CIV Galen says:
:: Walks in behind the XO and sits down next to the XO ::

ASO Lane says:
CO: I have some faint voice patterns ma'am, I don't recognize the language dialect though.

Host CO Royce says:
ASO:  Run it through the universal translator.  Lets see if we have it in our database

CMO Delar says:
:: He skims his view over the PADD and the words seem to jumble together. As Crewman Farmer leaves his office, he puts the PADD down on his desk with a heavy sign and he places his hands over his eyes. ::

CSO Trelan says:
ASO: Are you running it through the translator?

ASO Lane says:
CO: Aye Captain.

XO Kelson says:
CNS/CIV: Okay you two...the Captain has us as the away team if needed.  We need to come up with a first contact plan, as it were.  Suggestions?

ASO Lane says:
:: Nods to Trelan ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Stands next to Lane, glancing at the CSO and smiles ::

ASO Lane says:
:: Puts the faint audio into the translator ::

FCO Horn says:
CO: Approaching the system. Approx 29min and 36secs till orbit.

CNS Shirley says:
:: Sits down ::   XO: I guess the first thing is to see if they are non violent....

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  the Transmission resolves slightly...  ":: woieyhak hryaknai dsakfjht must have room jahdkjlf kdja hdf people are lkdjfl;kj borders ::"

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Thank you Cmdr.  Standard orbiting procedures

CIV Galen says:
:: Nods in agreement ::   XO: And then if they would be scared of our presence.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Reaches over to the secondary station, trying to clear up the transmission ::

XO Kelson says:
CNS: Good point.  Hopefully we will determine that before we take a shuttle down to the surface.

FCO Horn says:
CO: Recommend a high orbit. Less chance of being detected.

ASO Lane says:
CO: Ma'am, I have bits and pieces of a conversation...something about must have room and borders.

CNS Shirley says:
XO: True.

XO Kelson says:
CNS/CIV: I think a shuttle would be less frightening than suddenly appearing out of thin air, don't you think?   :: Smiles ::

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Agreed.  Can you place us above the planet’s polar cap?

CIV Galen says:
XO: May I also suggest we get fitted with prosthetics to blend in until such time as we need to have our own faces.

CSO Trelan says:
OPS: Can you boost the transmission through the deflector dish?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods  to ASO ::  ASO:  Keep working it.

XO Kelson says:
:: Nods ::   CIV: If we need to be covert, yes...

FCO Horn says:
CO: Yes Ma'am, or where else you would like me to park the ship

OPS Chaser says:
CSO: Aye, Sir-r-r.

Host CO Royce says:
ASO:  Whatever we can give to the away team will be useful.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Recalibrates the deflector dish, boosting power. ::

ASO Lane says:
CO: Captain, I'm getting a weak visual signal, rather primitive but it is there.

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Above the polar cap would be good.

Host CO Royce says:
ASO:  Can you boost that signal any more?

CSO Trelan says:
:: Reroutes the deflector to pick up the signal ::

CMO Delar says:
:: He stays in his pained position for several moments before taking several deep breaths and returning his view to the PADD. His vision has cleared slightly and he takes another deep breath before continuing his Xenobiology research. ::

ASO Lane says:
CO: I think so ma'am.

CSO Trelan says:
CO: Captain, I am boosting it through the deflector dish now.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods ::   ASO/CSO:  Good.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Sees double for a moment, closes her eyes, and refocuses. ::

ASO Lane says:
:: Smiles at OPS and mouths "thanks" ::

FCO Horn says:
:: As the ship gets closer, directs the ship towards the polar caps ::

CIV Galen says:
XO: Seeing as how this is a delicate situation. It might be wise once you introduce us to let me handle the rest of the first contact procedures.

XO Kelson says:
CIV: I will defer to you then, Mr. Galen.  Your diplomatic skills will be in great desire on this mission.

ASO Lane says:
:: Tries to clean up the visual transmission ::   CO: Captain, I think we can take a look now.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  A humanoid species appears on the screen, in what appears to be some kind of action sequence...the humanoids appear about 1.5 to 2.2 meters in height, and their skin is orange and black mottles on a bluish background...

Host CO Royce says:
ASO/CSO:  Keep working on it.  We need to give the away team whatever information we can gather.

ASO Lane says:
CO: On screen ma'am.

CIV Galen says:
XO: Very well then. I would also like to suggest that the Vesuvius keep a close lock on our signals…JUST in case we need to get out of there fast

CSO Trelan says:
CO: Aye, Captain.

Host CO Royce says:
::  Looks to the view screen ::

ASO Lane says:
:: Stares at the screen in amazement ::

XO Kelson says:
CIV: Also a good idea but I'd hate to leave our shuttle there to be picked apart.  We'll have them lock on to the shuttle as well.

CIV Galen says:
:: Nods towards the XO ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Tilts her head a bit as she looks at the screen ::   Self:  ...Interesting…

CNS Shirley says:
XO: True, we all need to be friendly as we can be at the first meeting.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Looks to the screen, watching for distinct movements and patterns ::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  One larger member of the species seems to be holding a large projectile weapon and firing rapidly at attackers and the language that comes out of the screen is jumbled.   :: kjdf pass to the nether realms you beings with questionable parentage!!! ::

XO Kelson says:
CNS: Counselor...we will need your empathic skills on this mission to warn us of any danger.  Friendliness is a necessity, correct.

Host CO Royce says:
CSO/ASO:  Can you pick up any military frequencies?

ASO Lane says:
CSO: Well sir, what do you make of them?   :: Nods at the screen ::

CSO Trelan says:
ASO: See that? Projectile weapons....

CSO Trelan says:
CO: Checking....

Host CO Royce says:
CSO/ASO:  Can you detect any indication that they have achieved warp technology?

ASO Lane says:
CSO: So they have technology to some degree.

CSO Trelan says:
CO: Scans are reading large repositories of anti-matter.

CMO Delar says:
:: With a disoriented feeling, the dizzy spells once again pass over him without warning and he collapses on his desk with a thud. It is several more moments before any of the medics notice their passed out superior, who by this time has slumped to the floor in a heap. ::

ASO Lane says:
CO: I read that as well.

Host CO Royce says:
CSO/ASO:  Can you detect what they use those for?

CIV Galen says:
XO: Also I would like to suggest type 1 phaser’s…again, just precautionary. But keep them hidden

CSO Trelan says:
CO: Scanning the surface for vessels with anti-matter pods.

XO Kelson says:
CNS/CIV: This mission could be a landmark event in there history.  Let's treat it as such.   :: Stands ::   Dismissed...

CNS Shirley says:
XO: Yes Sir....

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The scene rapidly changes on the screen -- There now seem to be two members of opposite gender engaging in a courtship ritual of some kind....

Host CO Royce says:
:: Raises left eyebrow... ::

CSO Trelan says:
ASO: Record this. We need to know these things if we are to go down there.

ASO Lane says:
:: Starts to giggle at the screen ::

CIV Galen says:
:: Gets up and walks out of the Observation lounge, quickly walks up to the XO :: XO permission to leave the bridge and wander down to Sickbay. I'm gettin’ nauseous here. Probably just a bit of space sickness.

ASO Lane says:
CSO: Recording sir.

XO Kelson says:
:: Goes over information in PADD ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Scans for total life signs and types of vegetation. ::

ASO Lane says:
:: Taps the console ::

CSO Trelan says:
CO: Nothing on the surface. Trying to get underground scans.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  A face appears on the screen and begins to speak.   ::We interrupt this scheduled program for a breaking news bulletin ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods to CSO ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Boosts the sensor range ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Smiles ::   CIV: You need to get that under control, Mr. Galen.  Just be ready for my call.  Dismissed.

ASO Lane says:
CO: Captain, this looks like some sort of primitive communication program.

FCO Horn says:
:: Begins orbiting procedures and positions the ship majestically over the northern polar cap ::

CMO Delar says:
:: His breathing becomes rapid as Crewman Farmer rushes him onto a medical bed. A transmission is sent to the bridge to warn the senior staff that the CMO is down, however the situation appears to be under control. ::

CIV Galen says:
XO: Aye sir. It's been relatively calm lately.   :: Steps on to the turbolift ::   Computer: Sickbay.

Host CO Royce says:
ASO:  Like early earth?

CSO Trelan says:
Self: Fascinating! Ancient television frequency waves....

FCO Horn says:
CO: Orbit established. High inclination. Low emissions.

ASO Lane says:
CO: Like those old programs from earth, ma'am...television I think they called it.

XO Kelson says:
:: Walks back aboard bridge ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Looks at screen ::

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Thank you Cmdr.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Taps console ::

CIV Galen says:
:: After a few moments arrives near sickbay, walks out of the turbolift and into sickbay and calls out ::   ALL: Anyone home?

Host Screen Image says:
ALL: We take you now live to where the Primus of all Nalaman is preparing to accept his election to his second term of office...

FCO Horn says:
:: With nothing to do while ship is in orbit, begins to watch the view screen ::

XO Kelson says:
CO: Well, Captain.  I see we have some interesting viewing...   :: Smiles ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Walks to XO's chair ::

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  Very...

ASO Lane says:
:: Monitors the recording closely ::

Host Screen Image says:
ACTION:  The screen image shows a Nalaman standing at a podium amid cheering supporters...He begins to speak...

XO Kelson says:
CO: Would this be from the Nalaman’s?

CIV Galen says:
:: Sees the CMO on a biobed, rushes over ::   ALL: What happened?

CSO Trelan says:
:: Watches every move...the way they walk, swing their arms... ::

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Cmdr, please monitor the surface...I don't want us to be detected.  Make whatever corrections to altitude that you need.

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  It appears so

XO Kelson says:
:: Nods ::

FCO Horn says:
CO: Yes Ma'am. I am on top of it.

Host CO Royce says:
CSO/ASO:  What about space faring...can you zero in on anything in that regards?

CMO Delar says:
<Farmer>CIV: We found him collapsed in his office. We haven’t been able to trace the source, however it appears to be a case of over-exhaustion, sir.   :: She runs a mild scan of him and they prep him for more intensive observation ::

XO Kelson says:
CO: The away team is ready when needed Captain.

CIV Galen says:
Farmer: Have you informed the bridge of this?

CSO Trelan says:
CO: Still getting nothing, Captain. I am trying to penetrate the surface to see if there is anything underground.

ASO Lane says:
CO: Working on it ma'am.

Host Primus Glandamring says:
ALL:  Citizens of Nalaman!  We stand on the brink of a new era!

CIV Galen says:
:: Grabs the CMO's hand and whispers ::   CMO: Come on Lon. Wake up.

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  Good...you'll have an interesting time trying to blend in there, Cmdr...I'm not sure a planetside mission will be needed.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods to CSO/ASO ::

ASO Lane says:
CSO: Can you pick up any surface power generations?

OPS Chaser says:
:: An OPS tech enters the bridge and reports to Ens. Chaser for duty. ::

XO Kelson says:
CO: We are ready for both covert and face-to-face missions, Ma'am.

Host Primus Glandamring says:
ALL: Twelve short years ago, our planet put aside war!  As one people, we reached for the stars!

CSO Trelan says:
ASO: Not yet. But there has to be something...otherwise Starfleet wouldn't have sent us out here.

FCO Horn says:
:: Pushes a few buttons and keeps the ship at the correct distance from the planet ::

CMO Delar says:
<Farmer>CIV: A message is just being sent, however no confirmation has been received...sir.   :: She checks some of her readings and gives the doctor a mild triox injection to stabilize his breathing ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Reports off the OPS tech, and stands gaining her balance for a moment and exits the bridge for her quarters. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods to XO ::

Host Primus Glandamring says:
ALL:  And we met with failure after failure.  I ask you...did we give up?

Host Primus Glandamring says:
<Crowd>  NO!!!!

ASO Lane says:
:: Listens to the Primus with interest ::

CMO Delar says:
:: His hand begins to shake in Edward's hold and his eyes begin to twitch nervously. Almost as if he is in a deep sleep, his body lays cold and still, his hands shivering, and sweat forming on his brow. ::

CIV Galen says:
:: With a bit of pleading in his voice ::   Farmer: Keep working.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Listens for clues in the Primus' statements ::

CIV Galen says:
Farmer: I'll go inform the command staff myself. I'll keep an open comlink.

Host Primus Glandamring says:
ALL:  Today, we stand on the brink of Space!  The Final Frontier!  Our scientists have found a way to travel faster than light!

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  Well, San...you missed the appearance of the Nalaman people...

ASO Lane says:
CO: Captain, you might to hear this.

XO Kelson says:
:: Whispers ::   CO: Not too long out of world conflict...

CSO Trelan says:
ASO: Hear that...faster than light travel...warp power.

Host Primus Glandamring says:
ALL:  Although in the experimental stages, we are confident that with your continued support, we can all reach our goal together!

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  They are small in stature, orange and black mottles on a bluish background of sorts.

Host CO Royce says:
ASO:  What do you have?

CMO Delar says:
<Farmer>CIV: Yes...sir...::She looks down at her readings and shakes her head as she rushes to a wall display to check on Delar's internal scans. She begins to feel worried and anxious, and not sure of what course of action to take without Delar beside her. ::

ASO Lane says:
CSO: This might be an interesting mission after all.

XO Kelson says:
:: Raises eyebrows ::   CMO: The doc is good but not THAT good...   :: Laughs ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles at the XO's comment ::

CIV Galen says:
:: Notices the apprehension ::   Farmer: Relax, take a few deep breathes. Remember your training.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods as she listens to the statement... ::

Host Primus Glandamring says:
ALL:  In three days, we will begin our first space-born tests of this new technology!  

ASO Lane says:
CO: Their Primus is talking about traveling faster than light.

CSO Trelan says:
Self: Three days...

XO Kelson says:
:: Thinks of someone fitting a similar stature ::

Host CO Royce says:
CSO/ASO:  We need to find out the location where that launch will take place

CIV Galen says:
:: Taps his combadge ::   CO/XO: Ma'am, Sir. The CMO was found unconscious at his desk.

XO Kelson says:
:: Taps combadge ::   *CIV* What's his status, Mr. Galen?

CSO Trelan says:
CO: Captain, I am reading part hydroelectric, part solar power. They seem to be storing it in batteries. Trying to trace....

CIV Galen says:
*XO*: Still unconscious sir. They're working to figure out what happened. Permission to stay here unless I'm needed for first contact?

Host CO Royce says:
Self: Hydroelectric...?

Host Primus Glandamring says:
ALL:  We look forward to going to see what's out there!  We have mastered our environment, and we have mastered ourselves and our passions and channeled them into this one great endeavor!  Success!!!!

Host Primus Glandamring says:
<Crowd>  SUCCESS!!!

XO Kelson says:
*CIV* Permission granted.  Keep us informed.  Kelson out.

CMO Delar says:
:: He sits up suddenly as his eyes shoot open. His expression turns deathly pale, and the visions around him are blurred, distorted, and the sounds in the background seem to scream into his ears. Without warning, his pupils can be seen rolling back, and he topples over the side of the bed with a crack and right onto the floor once again ::

XO Kelson says:
CO: It seems our Doctor needs to "heal thyself"...

Host CO Royce says:
CSO/ASO/XO:  I don't like the sound of their mastering...

Host Screen Image says:
ALL:  You heard it first here on World news Net...the first Space-based test of our new hyperdrive in Three days!

CSO Trelan says:
CO: Captain...we have three days. If they are using hydroelectric power, an obvious choice would be to start at oceans and major inland lakes and rivers to track it.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles at the comment of the XO ::

CIV Galen says:
:: Yells ::   CMO: LON!   :: Rushes over to the CMO's side, grabs a tricorder and tries to read what it is giving him but can't make heads or tails of the
information ::

Host Gerry says:
<Screen Image> We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming....

Host CO Royce says:
CSO:  Agreed.  Get on that, Cmdr.

CNS Shirley says:
:: Walks around the bridge, thinking about what is going on. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Moves down the ramp to her chair ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Notices a slight power drop and makes the required corrective actions and fixes the problem ::

CSO Trelan says:
CO: Aye, ma'am.

ASO Lane says:
:: Hears the CSO and begins to search for any signs of development near the major bodies of water ::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The bridge crew is treated to a view of Nalaman intimacy...

Host CO Royce says:
CNS:  Counselor...

CNS Shirley says:
CO:  Ma'am?

Host CO Royce says:
CNS:  How do you perceive these people?

XO Kelson says:
Self: Well...you don't see that every day...

CSO Trelan says:
:: Disregards the screen, trying to get readings on the facility ::

ASO Lane says:
:; Glances up at the screen and blushes ::   Self: Oh my!

CSO Trelan says:
ASO: Hope, you getting anything?

ASO Lane says:
:: Peeks over at Sam, happy he's not looking her way ::

CMO Delar says:
<Farmer>:: She rushes to his side and moves to help the doctor back onto the bed ::   CIV: Help me...please...

XO Kelson says:
Anyone: Can we try to get something a little more informational on the screen please?

ASO Lane says:
CSO: Um, not yet sir.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Waits for the CNS to answer ::

CSO Trelan says:
Self: There has to be a hydroelectric facility somewhere to start from....

CNS Shirley says:
CO: I sense a great expectation and real hope from the planet.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Scans area after area ::

Host CO Royce says:
CNS:  Do you sense any aggression from them or even among them?

CIV Galen says:
:: Then recognizes the readings ::   *XO/CO*: Sir, Ma'am you may not want to hear this. But if I'm reading these tricorder scans right. The CMO is in a state of hyper stimulation. Not to the point you were Captain from what I understand but....
:: Trails off ::

ASO Lane says:
:: Turns back to her scans for the hydroelectric source ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Stops suddenly ::

CNS Shirley says:
CO: No, I don't sense any aggression, but I still would use caution.  You never know. Really….

CSO Trelan says:
CO/XO: Captain, Commander....

XO Kelson says:
*CIV*Acknowledged.

Host CO Royce says:
CSO:  Yes Cmdr?

CIV Galen says:
Farmer: What did you do in this situation with the Captain?  Stasis?

XO Kelson says:
:: Turns to Trelan ::

CSO Trelan says:
CO/XO: Reading a large concentration of hydrogen fuel at 129 mark 3.

Host CO Royce says:
CSO:  What do you make of it, Cmdr?

CMO Delar says:
<Farmer>CIV: Hyper-stimulation?   :: Begins several neural scans and checks the results with files and average neural results ::   CIV: I can confirm, his synaptic readings are 20 times that or a normal Vulcan...or Betazoid...

ASO Lane says:
:: Fine tunes her scanners to those coordinates ::

CSO Trelan says:
CO/XO: Also reading a large amount of antimatter. It could be the launch point.

XO Kelson says:
CSO: Bingo!  Good work, Dru...

CNS Shirley says:
CO: Ma'am....

CIV Galen says:
Farmer: So, I ask again. What do you do?  Stasis?

CIV Galen says:
Farmer: Or medical intervention?

Host CO Royce says:
CNS:  Counselor...?

CNS Shirley says:
CO: There is euphoria and elation coming from the planet.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Narrows scanning range ::

Host CO Royce says:
CNS:  How do you think they would react to a first contact situation?

CMO Delar says:
<Farmer>CIV: I...I don't know...   :: She begins to look fro the database for some sort of medication or drug that could bring down the neural activity, but she comes up with blanks ::

XO Kelson says:
CSO: Can we get a close-up of the launch point on the screen?

CSO Trelan says:
ASO: Intensify the area at 129 mark 3. I want a closer look.

CIV Galen says:
Farmer: What about a mind meld?

CSO Trelan says:
XO: Working on that, sir.

ASO Lane says:
CSO: Aye Commander, magnifying.

XO Kelson says:
Self: Anything is better than what’s on there now...

Host CO Royce says:
CNS:  Do you think they believe their world is the center of the universe?

CSO Trelan says:
XO: Getting readings.

CSO Trelan says:
XO: Preparing to put them on screen.

CNS Shirley says:
CO: I say we just take it slowly.  And be careful.  And yes, they believe their world is the center of the universe

ASO Lane says:
:: Increases the magnification by 100 times ::   CSO: Should be clearer now sir.

XO Kelson says:
:: Turns to screen ::

CSO Trelan says:
ASO: Thank you.

Host CO Royce says:
